Milk kefir is a fermented milk drink that is usually made with goat’s milk or cow’s milk that is incredibly good for you.  The best way to describe milk kefir is that it’s kind of like a drinkable yogurt, it tastes tangy and a little sour. It is much easier to make than yogurt. Homemade yogurt<\/a> and kefir are staples in our kitchen, I make them on a weekly basis.<\/p>\n

What’s the big deal about milk kefir?<\/h2>\n

Kefir is considered a probiotic super food. It contains up to 30 strains of probiotics, which a lot more than yogurt! If that isn’t enough, kefir is also a good source of vitamin B12, calcium, magnesium, vitamin K2 and folate to name a few.   Basically, it’s darn good for you!<\/p>\n

Making milk kefir is very inexpensive.  The kefir grains that are used to make kefir will reproduce.  If you take care of your kefir grains, they will last for years!  I have had my kefir grains for nearly 10 years now, have shared the grains with friends and family and it’s still growing and making excellent kefir.  You can find kefir grains online if you don’t know of anyone that can share with you.<\/p>\n
